Let's face it, audio tapes were rubbish. Great at the time for making those party mixes, but if you're like us, you probably have a box load of audio cassettes stuffed somewhere in the house. And there's probably some good music there, some of which never made it to CD or you would love to preserve and hear again. So thank goodness you can digitize the music trapped on your old cassettes with the miraculous Ion Tape2PC USB Cassette Deck!
Simply plug this double tape deck into your computer and you can start converting tapes into MP3s faster than you can say 'I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar'. It's easier than the old 'Rec'+'Play' finger stretch. Suitably 80s-looking, the USB Cassette Deck has slow-opening doors (the slower the better back in the day) a tape counter and metal/CrO2 tape selector. And with two decks you can record from tape to tape for additional retro reminiscing.
Completely plug and play with no special drivers required, the USB Cassette Deck comes with idiot-proof Audacity and EZ Tape Converter software. This allows you to archive your recordings directly into iTunes in a few clicks. Just think, you could be listening to old mix tapes on your iPod or burning CDs of that ancient recording of your gran prattling on about the price of Spam.
Once you start converting you'll be totally hooked. And when you eventually run out of tapes to digitize, you can bet your wonky spools friends and relatives will come a-knocking with their collections. Just think, your husband/boyfriend will be busy for hours! It really is amazing what you find on old cassettes. It's like rediscovering the soundtrack to your youth. And once you've converted them you can listen to all that previously trapped material without having to dig out a cassette player or put up with all that slow rewind business. So why pause? It's time to fast-forward to the future with a USB Cassette Deck.
